THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 930:172802. [PMID: 38679093 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172802] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
In situ measurement of the bioavailability of organic pollutants in soil is crucial for understanding their environmental behavior and assessing health risks. Due to the high heterogeneity of soil, microscale determination is crucial for achieving high accuracy, but few methods are available. In this study, microsized probes coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were used to measure the bioavailability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil in situ. The concentrations of PAHs enriched by the PDMS-coated probes correlated well with the results of bioassays using earthworms (R2 = 0.92-0.99) and ryegrass roots (R2 = 0.92-0.99). Compared with other chemical extraction methods, such as n-butanol extraction, the proposed method has advantages such as in situ operation, microvolume analysis, and negligible interference to the soil environment. In the soil rhizosphere zone, PAHs bioavailability decreased in the following order: rhizosphere > near-rhizosphere > far-rhizosphere. The bioavailability of PAHs in soil amended with biochar was also successfully characterized by the proposed method. Thus, this study developed an in situ and microscale method to predict the bioavailability of organic pollutants in contaminated soils and provides new insight into migration and transformation processes in rhizosphere soil.

Abstract
This review delves into the escalating concern of environmental pollutants and their profound impact on human health in the context of the modern surge in global diseases. The utilisation of chemicals in food production, which results in residues in food, has emerged as a major concern nowadays. By exploring the intricate relationship between environmental pollutants and gut microbiota, the study reveals a dynamic bidirectional interplay, as modifying microbiota profile influences metabolic pathways and subsequent brain functions. This review will first provide an overview of potential exposomes and their effect to gut health. This paper is then emphasis the connection of gut brain function by analysing microbiome markers with neurotoxicity responses. We then take pesticide as example of exposome to elucidate their influence to biomarkers biosynthesis pathways and subsequent brain functions. The interconnection between neuroendocrine and neuromodulators elements and the gut-brain axis emerges as a pivotal factor in regulating mental health and brain development. Thus, manipulation of gut microbiota function at the onset of stress may offer a potential avenue for the prevention and treatment for mental disorder and other neurodegenerative illness.

[PMID: 38521268 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
Pollution caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is a significant concern. This concern has become more problematic given the rapid modification of PAHs in the environment during co-contamination to form substituted PAHs. This review aims to integrate bibliometric analysis with a rigorous study of mechanistic insights, resulting in a more comprehensive knowledge of evolving research trends on PAH remediation. The results show that research in this field has progressed over the years and peaked in 2022, potentially due to the redirection of resources toward emerging pollutants, hinting at the dynamic nature of environmental research priorities. During this year, 158,147 documents were published, representing 7 % of the total publications in the field between 2000 and 2023. The different remediation methods used for PAH remediation were identified and compared. Bioremediation, having >90 % removal efficiency, has been revealed to be the best technique because it is cost-effective and easy to operate at large scale in situ and ex-situ. The current challenges in PAH remediation have been detailed and discussed. Implementing innovative and sustainable technologies that target pollutant removal and valuable compound recovery is necessary to build a more robust future for water management.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are pervasive ecological pollutants produced essentially during the inadequate burning of organic materials. PAHs are a group of different organic compounds that are made out of various aromatic rings. PAHs pose a serious risk to humans and aquatic ecosystems because of their mutagenic and carcinogenic properties. In this way, there is a critical prerequisite to utilizing successful remediation strategies and methods to limit the dangerous effect of these pollutants on the ecosystem. Biochar has believed of intriguing properties such as simple manufacturing operations and more affordable and more productive materials. Biochar is a sustainable carbonaceous material that has an enormous surface area with bountiful functional groups and pore structure, which has huge potential for the remediation of toxic pollutants. This review emphasizes the occurrence, development, and fate of toxic PAHs in the environment. In the present review, the properties and role of biochar in the removal of PAHs were illustrated, and the influencing factors and an efficient key mechanism of biochar for the remediation of PAHs were discussed in detail. Various surface modification methods can be utilized to improve the biochar properties with the magnetization process; the advancements of modified biochar are pointed out in this review. Finally, the constraints and prospects for the large-scale application of biochar in the remediation of toxic pollutants are highlighted.

Abstract
Conventional chemical extraction methods may lead to overestimate or underestimate bioaccessibility due to their inability to provide realistic kinetic information regarding PAHs in soils. In this study, we propose the use of magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) technique for assessing the bioaccessibility of PAHs in the soil-earthworm system. Firstly, a novel polydopamine-coated magnetic core-shell microspheres (Fe3O4-C16@PDA) was developed by a one-pot sol-gel and self-polymerization method. The PDA coatings not only enhance the hydrophilicity of material surfaces but also exhibit excellent biocompatibility. The maximum adsorption capacity of Fe3O4-C16@PDA for 16 PAHs was 52.72 mg g-1, indicating that the proposed material fulfills the assessment requirements for highly contaminated soil. To compare the measurement of PAHs and their uptake by earthworms (Eisenia fetida), experiments were conducted using four different soils with varying properties. The desorption kinetics data obtained from these experiments demonstrated that the capability of the MSPE in accurately predicting the bioavailable portions of PAHs. After a 28-day exposure, the best predictor of bioavailable PAHs in earthworms was MSPE method exhibited the highest correlation coefficient (R2 > 0.90), and its slopes in the four soils were 0.972, 0.961, 1.012, and 0.962, respectively, all close to 1. These results demonstrate that the MSPE method successfully mimics the conditions encountered in soil-earthworm systems and effectively assess bioaccessibility of PAHs in soils.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2024; 347:123712. [PMID: 38460593 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
Humic acid (HA) from different organic solid waste (OSW) compost has been shown good adsorption properties for phenanthrene. However, the raw material of HA can affect its structure, resulting in differences in adsorption capacity. Therefore, this study focused on the adsorption characteristics of phenanthrene by HA from different OSW compost. In this work, chicken manure (CM), rice straw (RS) and lawn waste (LW) were selected as sources of composted HA. The adsorption mechanism of HA from different OSW compost were revealed through analytical techniques including three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy (EEM), two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results suggested that HA from LW compost had a better adsorption affinity for phenanthrene because of its more complex fluorescent component, where C1 as a simple component determined the adsorption process specifically. Furthermore, after HA from LW compost adsorbed phenanthrene, the increase in aromatic -COOH and -NH was the main reason for fluorescence quenching. These results indicated that HA from LW compost had better adsorption effect for phenanthrene. The results of this study were expected to provide a selection scheme for the control of phenanthrene pollution and environmental remediation.

Insight into the adsorption behaviors and bioaccessibility of three altered microplastics through three types of advanced oxidation processes. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 917:170420. [PMID: 38301781 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) can significantly alter the structural properties, environmental behaviors and human exposure level of microplastics in aquatic environments. Three typical microplastics (Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS)) and three AOPs (Heat-K2S2O8 (PDS), UV-H2O2, UV-peracetic acid (PAA)) were adopted to simulate the process when microplastics exposed to the sewage disposal system. 2-Nitrofluorene (2-NFlu) adsorption experiments found the equilibrium time decreased to 24 hours and the capacity increased up to 610 μg g-1, which means the adsorption efficiency has been greatly improved. The fitting results indicate the adsorption mechanism shifted from the partition dominant on pristine microplastic to the physical adsorption (pore filling) dominant. The alteration of specific surface area (21 to 152 m2 g-1), pore volume (0.003 to 0.148 cm3 g-1) and the particle size (123 to 16 μm) of microplastics after AOPs are implying the improvement for pore filling. Besides, the investigation of bioaccessibility is more complex, AOPs alter microplastic with more oxygen-containing functional groups and lower hydrophobicity detected by XPS and water contact angle, those modifications have increased the sorption concentration, especially in the human intestinal tract. Therefore, this indicates the actual exposure of organic compounds loaded in microplastic may be higher than in the pristine microplastic. This study can help to assess the human health risk of microplastic pollution in actual environments.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are major environmental organic pollutants. Some metabolites of PAHs show greater toxicity to humans while the others do not. It is highly important to decipher PAHs' regioselective activation mechanism and identify the major metabolites to accurately evaluate their public health risk. Here, we have performed a thorough computational study of benzo[a]anthracene (BA) metabolized by P450 1A1 by employing molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, quantum chemical calculation, and quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations. Our findings show that highly-reactive species such as 3,4-epoxide, 8,9-epoxide, 3,4-diol-1,2-epoxide, and 8,9-diol-10,11-epoxide were major metabolites, which can efficiently react with guanine and damage DNA with extremely low energy barrier, therefore, supports the regioselective metabolism of BA. The origin of this selective activation is mainly contributed to both the oxygen‑carbon distance and previously overlooked enzyme's intrinsic electric field. Consequently, based on the resolved activation selectivity of BA. We built a high-throughput strategy to efficiently predict the metabolites of other PAHs. The accuracy of the strategy is validated by studying 16 PAHs on the priority control list. Hopefully this will aid the accurate evaluation of public health risks associated with PAH emissions.

Abstract
Dynamic extraction of edible tissues of Jinjiang oyster (Crassostrea rivularis) and Flower clam (Paphia undulata) was conducted using a fully biomimetic digestion (in vitro) method. The impact of different cooking methods on the bioavailability of Zn and Cd in the edible shellfish tissues was analyzed, and the human health risk of Zn and Cd was evaluated. The results show that the gastric biomimetic extractions of Zn and Cd in unheated samples of C. rivularis and P. undulata were higher than those in the intestinal biomimetic extraction. The extraction patterns of cooked samples were consistent with those of raw samples. The bioavailability of Zn and Cd in cooked samples of C. rivularis was 94.9% and 82.5%, respectively, indicating increased Zn bioavailability but decreased Cd bioavailability compared to the raw samples. The bioavailability of Zn and Cd in cooked samples of P. undulata was 85.1% and 83.0%, respectively, both of which decreased compared to the raw samples. Consumption of C. rivularis can provide 21.0% to 34.2% of the daily required Zn intake, while consumption of P. undulata can provide 3.8% to 6.4%. The intake of Cd from both shellfish species is below the monthly tolerable intake recommended by FAO/WHO. Consuming cooked C. rivularis can increase the intake of Zn and decrease the intake of Cd.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with their carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic effects can cause great damage to the ecosystem and public health when present in water. With bioremediation, PAH contamination in water environment can be greatly reduced in an eco-friendly manner. It has thus become the research focus for many environmental scientists. In this study, a bibliometric analysis on three-decade (1990-2022) development of PAH bioremediation in water environment was conducted from temporal and spatial dimensions using CiteSpace. A total of 2480 publications, obtained from Web of Science core collection database, were used to explore the basic characteristics, hotspots, and prospects of the research area. The results showed that (1) bioremediation/biodegradation of PAHs in water environment has been getting researchers' attention since 1990, and is gaining even more traction as time goes on.

Predicting the bioavailability of nitro polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments: ZIF-8/h-BN solid-phase microextraction versus Tenax extraction. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2023; 318:120896. [PMID: 36535426 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.120896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The occurrence of nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs) in sediments has been widely reported, but research on NPAH bioavailability is lacking. In this study, a self-made zeolite imidazolate framework-8/hexagonal boron nitride (ZIF-8/h-BN) solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber and commercial Tenax are compared as efficient tools to predict the bioavailability of NPAHs in sediments with bioassays using Cipangopaludina chinensis. During the process of SPME, the NPAH concentrations on the ZIF-8/h-BN fibers reached extraction equilibrium after 72 h. The fiber extraction of NPAHs in sediments was well-fitted by the pseudo first-order kinetic model with a rate constant of 2 × 10-2 h-1 (R2 > 0.98). The extraction rates ranking of NPAHs in sediments was 2-nitrobiphenyl>1-nitropyrene>5-nitroacenaphthene>2-nitrofluorene. Compared with SPME, NPAH concentrations reached equilibrium after 168 h for the Tenax extraction. The orders of magnitude of fast, slow, and very slow desorption rate constants were 10-1, 10-2, and 10-4, respectively. At extraction equilibrium (168 h), the SPME was close to the bioavailability of the NPAHs in sediments to Cipangopaludina chinensis with a slope statistically approximated to one. In addition, the linear regression for SPME (R2 = 0.7285) was slightly higher than that of the Tenax extraction (R2 = 0.7168) over a short time (6 h). This could be because the coating material of ZIF-8/h-BN can rapidly adsorb freely dissolved NPAHs, and the SPME fibers can accurately predict the bioaccumulated concentrations of NPAHs in exposed organisms by measuring the concentration of NPAHs in the pore water of sediment. This study provides a time-saving and easy procedure to predict the bioavailability of NPAHs in sediments.

Abstract
Biochar-oxalic acid composite application (BCOA) have shown to be efficient in the remediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soil, but the functional degraders and the mechanism of improving biodegradation remains unclear. In this study, with the help of stable isotope probing technology of phenanthrene (Phe), we determined that BCOA significantly improved Phe mineralization by 2.1 times, which was ascribed to the increased numbers and abundances of functional degraders. The BCOA increased contents of dissolved organic carbon and available nutrients and decreased pH values in soil, thus promoting the activity, diversity and close cooperation of the functional Phe-degraders, and stimulating their functions associated with Phe degradation. In addition, there is a relay activity among more and diverse functional Phe-degraders in the soil with BCOA. Specifically, Pullulanibacillus persistently participated in Phe-degradation in the soil with BCOA throughout the incubation period. Moreover, Pullulanibacillus, Blastococcus, Alsobacter, Ramlibacter, and Mizugakiibacter were proved to be potential Phe-degraders in soil for the first time. The specific Phe degraders and their relay and cooperation activity in soils as impacted by BCOA were first identified with DNA-stable isotope probing technology. Our findings provided a novel perspective to understand the efficient degradation of PAH in the BCOA treatments, revealed the potential of soil native microbes in the efficient bioremediation of PAH-contaminated natural soil, and provided a basis for the development of in-situ phytoremediation technologies to remediate PAH pollution in future.

Abstract
To date, the known models applied in China to risk assessment and cleanup level estimation still have uncertainties. To solve this problem, this study combined the advantages of the traditional model and the probabilistic risk assessment model to create a new model that fits China's exposure scenarios and enhance the accuracy of health risk assessment and cleanup level estimation. The results of applying the traditional model to the health risk assessment and cleanup level estimate in coking plants showed that the selection of point estimates influenced the results, which increased the uncertainty in the outcome of the risk assessment and cleanup level estimates. The risk assessment result of the new model adopted the 95th percentile distribution range to establish a confidence interval to solve the uncertainty of the traditional model. The cancer risk results calculated using the new model were one-fifth to one-third of those calculated using the traditional model. The results showed that using the new model could eliminate the conservativeness of the traditional model. For the cleanup level estimation, the cleanup levels calculated by the new model can control the risk by 95% for the coking plant, but the results calculated by the traditional model can only control the risk by 69-80%. Therefore, the cleanup levels obtained using the traditional model may underestimate the exposure risk of pollutants. The concentration of contaminants in the surface soil was the most sensitive variable in terms of risk outcomes, but the most important parameter for cleanup level estimation was exposure duration. This study highlighted the positive role of the new model in improving the accuracy of risk assessments and cleanup level estimation.

Abstract
Plants exude through the roots different compounds, including, among others, low-molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs), with a relevant effect on multiple metabolic activities. Numerous studies have revealed their role in improving soil mineral acquisition and tolerance against inorganic pollutants. However, less information is available on how they may alter the fate of organic pollutants in soil, which may cause environmental problems, compromise soil quality and have a detrimental effect on animal and human health. This review intends to cover recent studies (from 2015 onwards) and provide up-to-date information on how LMWOAs influence environmental key processes of organic pollutants in soil, like adsorption/desorption, degradation and transport, without forgetting plant uptake, with obvious environmental and health repercussions. Critical knowledge gaps and future research needs are also discussed, because understanding these processes will help searching effective strategies for pollutant reduction and control in soil.

Abstract
Science-based water quality criteria are the cornerstone of water quality standards. This paper improved the methodology for the derivation of human health water quality criteria (HHWQC) and applied it for benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) to provide a scientific basis for the management of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface waters. First, the national bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) for BaP were derived using field-measured BAFs and field-measured biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) across China, respectively, which results were comparable and demonstrated the reliability of the obtained national BAFs for BaP. The HHWQC for BaP derived using the probabilistic approach were 3.98-4.70 ng/L and were comparable with those derived by the deterministic approach, suggesting the accuracy of derived HHWQC for BaP. Through the probabilistic approach, the probability distributions of lifetime incremental cancer risk from BaP in water were provided and the consumption rates of aquatic products at trophic level 2 and 3 were identified as factors influencing risks of BaP significantly. The derived HHWQC for BaP in China are approximately 33-36 times higher than those in the United States because of the high national BAFs and cancer slope factor of BaP used for the United States. In addition, the recommended HHWQC for BaP conform to the situation in China and are approximately 1.5 times higher than the standard value of BaP in the current National Surface Water Quality Standard (GB 3838-2002) in China (2.80 ng/L), which will play an important role in the amendment of National Surface Water Quality Standard in the future. Approximately 36% of the studied surface freshwater in China contains BaP with levels exceeding the recommended HHWQC, suggesting the pollution of BaP in surface freshwater is severe and needs to be given more attention. This study is significant for the scientific development of HHWQC worldwide and the management of pollutants in water.

Abstract
The improved in vitro gastrointestinal simulation methods, with the addition of the adsorption sink, are considered as a promising tool for predicting the bioaccessibility of contaminants. However, the problem associated with the recovery of the adsorption sink from the complex matrix needs more understand. Although previous studies tried to solve this shortcoming by using the containers (a vessel to hold the adsorption sink), there is no systematic comparison study on the impact of containers on bioaccessibility till now, especially for nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs). In order to understand the problem, commonly used containers in previous studies (dialysis bags and stainless-steel screen) were selected and deployed in the Fed Organic Estimation Human Simulation Test (FOREhST) method to compare the effects of these containers on the bioaccessibility of nitro-PAHs desorbed from the five different types of soils into the gastrointestinal fluid (GIF). Results showed that in order to maintain a constant sorptive gradient for the high molecular weight (MW) nitro-PAHs, 0.25 g of Tenax TA® were required in FOREhST. Compared with Tenax TA® encapsulated in dialysis bag (Tenax-EDBG), the use of Tenax TA® encapsulated in dissolution basket (Tenax-EDBT) significantly increased the bioaccessibility of nitro-PAHs in the soil from 5.6-31.4% to 17.2-70.6%, due to the better diffusion performance. The bioaccessibility of nitro-PAHs by FOREhST extraction with Tenax-EDBT showed a significant negative correlation with soil total organic carbon (TOC), whereas a weak correlation with pH. This study provides the researchers with a more standardized in vitro method to quantify the bioaccessibility of PAHs and their derivatives in soil.

Abstract
Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) through diet is gaining concern due to the risk it poses to human health. This study evaluated the bioaccessibility of PAHs contained in charcoal-grilled beef and chicken in different segments of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) with regard to the degree of doneness and fat content of the meats. The levels of 15 PAHs in the grilled meat samples and bioaccessible fractions were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with PAH column, and UV and fluorescence detectors. Total PAHs were found in beef (30.73 ng/g) and chicken (70.93 ng/g) before its digestion, and different PAHs’ bioaccessibility were observed in the different segments of GIT, with the highest in the stomach followed by the small intestine, despite the relatively higher bioaccessibility of individual PAHs in grilled beef as compared to those in grilled chicken. Additionally, the PAHs’ bioaccessibility increased with the increase in the degree of doneness. Positive linear correlation was observed for the PAHs’ bioaccessibility and the fat contents of grilled meat. Overall, this study highlights the influence of meat doneness (cooking time) and fat contents on the bioaccessibility and bioaccumulation of PAHs.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic and recalcitrant pollutants, with an urgent need for bioremediation. Systematic biodegradation studies show that surfactant-mediated bioremediation is still poorly understood. Here, we investigated a comprehensive cellular response pattern of the PAH degrading strain B. subtilis ZL09-26 to (non-)green surfactants at the cellular and proteomic levels. Eight characteristic cellular factor investigations and detailed quantitative proteomics analyses were performed to understand the highly enhanced phenanthrene (PHE) degradation efficiency (2.8- to 3-fold improvement) of ZL09-26 by humic acid (HA) or Tween80. The commonly upregulated pathway and proteins (Arginine generation, LacI-family transcriptional regulator, and Lactate dehydrogenase) and various metabolic pathways (such as phenanthrene degradation upstream pathway and central carbon metabolism) jointly govern the change of cellular behaviors and improvement of PHE transport, emulsification, and degradation in a network manner. The obtained molecular knowledge empowers engineers to expand the application of surfactants in the biodegradation of PAHs and other pollutants.

Abstract
The agri-food industry has historically determined the socioeconomic characteristics of Galicia and Northern Portugal, and it was recently identified as an area for collaboration in the Euroregion. In particular, there is a need for action to help to ensure the provision of safe and healthy foods by taking advantage of key enabling technologies. The goals of the FOODSENS project are aligned with this major objective, specifically with the development of biosensors able to monitor hazards relevant to the safety of food produced in the Euroregion. The present review addresses the state of the art of analytical methodologies and techniques-whether commercially available or in various stages of development-for monitoring food hazards, such as harmful algal blooms, mycotoxins, Listeria monocytogenes, allergens, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. We discuss the pros and cons of these methodologies and techniques and address lines of research for point-of-care detection. Accordingly, the development of miniaturized automated monitoring strategies is considered a priority in terms of health and economic interest, with a significant impact in several areas, such as food safety, water quality, pollution control, and public health. Finally, we present potential market opportunities that could result from the availability of rapid and reliable commercial methodologies.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 797:149035. [PMID: 34303250 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.149035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/10/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
High molecular weight PAHs (HMW PAHs) are dangerous pollutants widely distributed in the environment. The use of microorganisms represents an important tool for HMW PAHs bioremediation, so, the understanding of their biochemical pathways facilitates the development of biodegradation strategies. For this reason, the potential role of species of microalgae, bacteria, and microalga-bacteria consortia in the degradation of HMW PAHs is discussed. The identification of their metabolites, mostly by GC-MS and LC-MS, allows a better approach to the enzymes involved in the key steps of the metabolic pathways of HMW PAHs biodegradation. So, this review intends to address the proteomic research on enzyme activities and their involvement in regulating essential biochemical functions that help bacteria and microalgae in the biodegradation processes of HMW PAHs. It is noteworthy that, given that to the best of our knowledge, this is the first review focused on the mass spectrometry identification of the HMW PAHs metabolites; whereby and due to the great concern of the presence of HMW PAHs in the environment, this material could help the urgency of developing new bioremediation methods. The elucidation of the metabolic pathways of persistent pollutant degrading microorganisms should lead to a better knowledge of the enzymes involved, which could contribute to a very ecological route to the control of environmental contamination in the future.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 794:148717.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated a fractured karst aquifer polluted by chlorinated hydrocarbons to determine the contamination characteristics of the main hydrocarbon components. The natural attenuation processes of representative components were simulated and forecasted using TMVOC and hydro-chemical components (NO3-, SO42-, HCO3- Cl- and δ13CDIC). The impact of hydrocarbon compounds on the hydro-chemical ions were estimated, and their historical contamination characteristics were also reconstructed. Results showed that the dynamic characteristics of Trichloromethane and 1,1,2-Trichlorethane can indicate those of chlorinated hydrocarbons, where the rate of natural attenuation was observed to decrease with decreasing concentrations of hydrocarbon compounds. Additionally, the long-term variation characteristics in groundwater levels showed that the relatively stable hydrodynamic field conditions enabled the simulation of the natural attenuation processes of chlorinated hydrocarbons. The simulation which also considered the biodegradation processes showed that the use of TMVOC and hydro-chemical parameters may better describe natural attenuation processes. Over 3 years (from 2017 to 2019), the average percentage of biodegradation in the total natural attenuation was estimated to be 88.35%. Similarly, Trichloromethane and 1,1,2-Trichlorethane are forecasted to have no health hazards in 10 and 15 years, respectively. The contribution rates of biodegradation to HCO3- and Cl- in the fractured karst aquifer varied with the concentrations of chlorinated hydrocarbons. Overall, the findings and methods in this work have significant contributions for advancing remediation developments of petroleum hydrocarbons, especially in karst environments that are highly susceptible to contamination.

Abstract
Introduction In the past 22 years, a large number of publications have reported that liver kinase B1 (LKB1) can regulate a variety of cellular processes and play an important role in many diseases. However, there is no systematic bibliometric analysis on the publications of LKB1 to reveal the research hotspots and future direction. Methods Publications were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), Scopus, and PubMed databases. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to analysis the top countries, institutions, authors, source journals, discipline categories, references, and keywords. Results In the past 22 years, the number of LKB1 publications has increased gradually by year. The country, institution, author, journals that have published the most articles and cited the most frequently were the United States, Harvard University, Prof. Benoit Viollet, Journal of Biochemistry and Plos One. The focused research hotspot was the molecular functions of LKB1. The emerging hotspots and future trends are the clinical studies about LKB1 and co-mutated genes as biomarkers in tumors, especially in lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusions Our research could provide knowledge base, frontiers, emerging hotspots and future trends associated with LKB1 for researchers in this field, and contribute to finding potential cooperation possibilities.
